The gift ideas thread. Because it's that time again. Already. The fuck?

Statistically speaking, if you're going to be murdered, chances are it's going to be by a member of your family on Christmas day.

If you're lucky enough not to wake up dead, dismembered, and draped with tinsel, those of you with loved ones might have a few gifts to give. And let's be honest here. Nobody wants a fruitcake. Unless Alma made it, but she's got better things to do than to make fruitcake for you people.

So here is a thread where you can ask other people for help with gifts. Or holiday things in general. Or you can complain about all TV commercials having that same goddamn jingle bell backing track. I don't really care. As soon as I hit submit new thread, this is out of my hands.

Just because it's not christmas time yet doesn't mean it's not prime plotting time. It's around now that folks are getting their names for secret santa (at work) and my family has passed out names for our own secret santa (it's like pretending to be strangers).

This year's the first time we've done this, and I got my only boy cousin. The problem is that he's 17 and ... a boy. And also 17. And lives in Illinois as a hobby, I think. So what do you get for a 17 yr old boy for under $30?

As much as I'm sure he'd enjoy that, I don't know how I'd feel about giving him those things in front of the whole family. And anyway, how do you keep 3 hookers alive in a box without punching holes in it? The holes would give it away immediately.

Thanksgiving was last month... you're all crazy.

I have already picked out my present for my girlfriend this year. I have set the bar high for myself, not to brag, so I was kind of worried about this year. But I know now. She will like it. I would say what it is... but she might be lurking this board...
